How can I get them to stop writing to me?

⁠Has no bot. Records locally from my device, nothing visible to others. Is there one?

How would that change behaviour around farting?

I was using a wooden toothpick to clean between my teeth in the back and it broke off almost flush with my teeth on the cheek side. In an effort to remove it I grabbed it with tweezers on the tongue side but only ended up breaking it off almost flush with the inside of my molars. It is still visible from both sides but isn’t sticking out enough to grab with anything I have.
I live in a tiny remote community without a dentist and it could be a couple of weeks before I can get to see one. I tried using dental floss with a knot in it but it just slips by it. I don’t know what if anything else I should be doing or trying?

You would think the size of car payments is what it would feel like having but I’m just as broke.

I usually have a hard time falling asleep and wake up a few times in the night. Whenever I wake up it is again hard to fall asleep. If I wake up around 4 or 5 AM I am glad that I can now get up and don’t have to try to fall asleep again.

The modern tech era is setting up what might be the greatest philosophical plot twist in human history, and it all centers around Elon Musk and Neuralink.
Think about the cultural narrative surrounding Musk. He is basically the ultimate poster child for the "Great Man" theory of history the idea that sheer individual will, relentless drive, and superior intellect can bend the future of humanity. His billions and his status are culturally justified by the idea that he earned it by out-working and out-thinking everyone else in a meritocracy.
But here’s the kicker: He is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into a brain-computer interface designed to reverse-engineer human consciousness.
If Neuralink succeeds in perfectly mapping the brain's neural pathways, it stands a very high chance of proving what hard determinists have been saying for years: free will is an illusion.
If they map the exact biological clockwork behind "drive" and "ambition," it means Musk’s legendary work ethic isn’t some magical act of personal willpower. It’s just a lucky combination of dopamine receptors, prefrontal cortex wiring, and genetic lottery.
By funding the tech that solves the brain, he is inadvertently financing the exact science that dismantles the moral and philosophical justification for his own extreme wealth. If there's no free will, no one "earns" anything it's just biology executing code.
The double irony? Musk’s stated goal for Neuralink is to save human agency from being eclipsed by AGI. He wants to merge us with AI so we stay in control. But to build the bridge, he has to decode the machine. In trying to stop us from becoming puppets to AI, Neuralink might just prove we’ve been puppets to our own biology the entire time.
You honestly couldn't write a better script.
TL;DR: The ultimate selfmade billionaire is funding the exact technology that could prove "selfmade" is a biological impossibility.
